Cookin' over an open fire...

[gizamo]

In the Winter months, we cook on a antique wood cookstove. One of the best things we ever did was put that in the kitchen. Just somethin' about it, and all the cast iron pots and pans...and the ungodly good food that it makes....

So when the warm season comes, we kinda hate to go back to the gas oven. On sunny days we tend to experiment with cooking over a firepit with a fire iron set. Some of my friends do the same thing. I have a lot of blacksmith made cooking setups...but this one of my buddies is the next one I'm havin' made. Figure the pics will explain why...

If nothing else it lets you appreciate what our forebears went through. There is a local pizzeria that has a wood stove-IIRC they prefer oak. I have had roast corn prepared over a
wood fire-yum!

You know.. I cook over an open fire very often, but never for an actual dinner. Usually just while sitting around a fire drinking. Kielbasa is a favorite, but I have done venison which comes out pretty good.

If you look carefully at the top picture, you'll see a tin piece. It was a reflector oven...one of two cooking at the two corners of the fire. One had a blueberry pie...the other had this.

Whats the bayonet go to? I cook outside alot on a fire pit too. It's 106 outside today, so I'll just have 2-3 beers instead.

Nothing like bird over an open fire. But then again,nothing like any meat over an open fire.

Well there is Pie!

Everything shown so far was cooked on that one open fire...all at the same time. Along with a old fashioned pudding....

One of the members of a group I belong to did all of this on the 4th of July...
